One day, the county magistrate Wang had just fallen asleep when he heard the whistle sounding outside the county government.
County Magistrate Wang was very angry. It was really disappointing to not let a good night's sleep at noon.
No matter how angry it is, the case still needs to be handled, so County Magistrate Wang put on his clothes and went to the front hall to try the case.
When I saw that the person complained was Manager Li of the Tea Store. He had a lot of contact with each other on weekdays, and he was also an acquaintance. County Magistrate Wang dispelled the idea of coming up and hitting ten boards first to repay his hatred of not taking a nap.
"Shopkeeper Li, what should I do if I have to use the drum of injustice?" asked Shopkeeper Li.
"Sir, I'm going out for business. As soon as I got home, I found my wife and a strange man lying naked on the bed. Both of them had a short knife in their stomachs and they were both dead. I was so scared that I had to beat the drum to report the case." Manager Li was about to cry anxiously.
"Is there such a thing? Captain Zhang, please come to the scene to investigate the case!" County Magistrate Wang ordered.
So Captain Zhang greeted the yamen runners and rushed to the scene of the crime with the county magistrate.
I heard that there was a murder case in the shopkeeper Li's house, and a group of people had already gathered at his doorstep, chatting and talking nonstop.
"Shopkeeper Li has been out for so long, leaving his wife alone at home, and he will inevitably be unable to control himself."
"Yes, Shopkeeper Li just wanted to make money, but he didn't expect a fire in the backyard."
"This is not just a simple matter of having an affair, both lives have been lost."
"Stop talking, Lord Wang is here, let's see how he decides the case."
Captain Zhang checked the scene for a long time, but he couldn't find any clues, but Shopkeeper Li's wife, Li, and a man, were lying naked on the bed, with a knife in his stomach, and there was no sign of fighting at the scene. How did the murderer do it? It's really hard to understand.
"Sir, there is no clue in this case at present and no clues can be seen." Captain Zhang reported to County Magistrate Wang.
"Since that's the case, there is no clue on the scene. Then carry the bodies of the two to the county government first and let the coroner carefully examine the autopsy to see if there are any new discoveries." Wang County Magistrate said.
So, the yamen runner carried the bodies of the two people back to the county yamen.
In the middle of the night, County Magistrate Wang was sleeping soundly, and suddenly the knock on the door woke up County Magistrate Wang.
County Magistrate Wang was very angry. He didn't let him sleep well at noon, he didn't let him sleep in the middle of the night, and did he let him live?
County Magistrate Wang opened the door and saw that it was Captain Zhang, so he cursed: "Knocking such a hurry to report the death."
Captain Zhang's voice was a little trembling: "Sir, it's a bad thing, something strange happened. The body of Li suddenly came to life, which scared us."
It turned out that Captain Zhang was on duty tonight. He got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. When he saw Li's body suddenly sitting up, he said, "Ah, my legs hurt so much. Ah." ”
Zhang was so scared that he lost his urination. He called out his brother, held the torch, and raised his courage, and asked, "Li, are you a human or a ghost?"
Li said, "I am a human, what place is this? Why am I here? Oh, my legs hurt so much."
Zhang Zhang felt relieved and walked over to see that Li also had a shadow on the ground, and he could breathe, unlike a ghost.
After confirming that Li was not a ghost, he came back alive, so Captain Zhang hurried to report to the county magistrate Wang.
"There are such strange things? Come on, let's go and have a look." County Magistrate Wang was immediately sleepy when he heard about this strange thing.
As expected, Li came back alive, not haunted. So the magistrate of Wang County opened the court late at night and tried Li at night.
Li was also frank and explained the whole story.
It turns out that the dead man was named Chen Dashan. The two have known each other since childhood and are both from the same village.
Shopkeeper Li will take a long time to go out to do business before he will come back. Chen Dashan happened to come to the city and was met by Li. The two of them got hooked up after a while.
Unexpectedly, the two of them actually had true love, and no one could do without each other.
One day, Li received a letter from Manager Li, saying that he would go home soon. Chen Dashan and Li were speechless after hearing this, worried that they would part from now on.
Finally, in order to be together forever, they decided to commit suicide. When Manager Li arrived at home, they each took a short knife on the bed and inserted the knife into each other's stomach...
Hearing this, County Magistrate Wang and Captain Zhang understood. No wonder they could not find the murderer. This was considered suicide.
"What about it later? You are obviously dead, why are you alive again?" asked the county magistrate.
Li continued to narrate that after her death, her soul came out of her body, and when she was not sure where she went, two little ghosts suddenly came and took her away.
The little devil brought Li to the underworld. Because he had an affair with someone on his back, he was humiliated by the little devil along the way because he had an affair with someone else on his back.
When the little devil brought Li to King Yan Luo and was about to be sentenced to her crime, the judge suddenly said, "King, the book of life and death says, Li's life has not arrived yet, and she has to return to the world."
King Yan Luo said, "Since that's the case, it's okay to make Li's family still healthy, but she still has to be punished if she commits adultery. Someone came, pressed her to the ground, and there were 100 iron rods."
The little devil picked up the iron rod, no more or less, and hit Li's legs a hundred times. Later, Li's soul was returned to the corpse, and later, the strange thing happened to Li's resurrection in the middle of the night.
County Magistrate Wang was half-believing and half-doubted, so he ordered the maid to check Li's body. Sure enough, purple-black scars appeared behind Li's two thighs.
County Magistrate Wang believed it and finally pronounced the following sentence: "Li was guilty of adultery and should have been severely punished, but she had been tortured in the underworld, so she was exempted from her crime. I hope she could do it well and reform her mistakes. Retreat!"
Later, when people met Li on the street, they saw her walking in a bit inconvenient way, obviously because her thigh had been seriously injured.
